Yoshi's Island 2 to feature online play

Gaming blog Kotaku has discovered a packshot for the upcoming Nintendo DS platformer Yoshi's Island 2. Packshots aren't usually all that newsworthy, but the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection logo adorning it points towards some form of online play for the title.

Quite how this will be implemented is anyone's guess at this stage. The box also reveals that both baby Wario and baby Bowser will also be included in the game, joining the likes of Mario, Donkey Kong and Peach all in baby form.

Yoshi's Island 2 is scheduled to arrive in North America on November 13, and amazingly only a few weeks later in the UK on December 1.
